Description
Pleasing 1831 O-117 Census Candidate, AU55
1831 50C AU55 PCGS. O-117, R.4. The date has the 18 higher than the 31. The obverse die also appears on O-112. The reverse die is shared with O-116, and has TATE each slightly higher than the previous letter.The obverse is fresh and sharp, with no flowlines, die cracks, or clash marks. The obverse borders are sharply detailed. The reverse is flowlined, with a narrow but complete border. Some dentils are weak, but all are present.
This Choice AU specimen has satiny luster with silver-gray surfaces and traces of peripheral iridescence. Only two or three Mint State pieces are known, with a small group of AU50 and AU55 coins carried in the Census. This piece easily ranks among the top ten, and is probably one of the six finest known examples.
